Nice pictures and fish

It's had to capture colors correctly in reef lighting.

Finally one of the clowns explored the anemone. Not the other one yet though.

The fish are doing very well. Female has gotten much larger than the male. No color transfer yet on the Gold Nugget (female). Not sure when that is supposed to take place.

Hi,

Happy to see them doing great! According to the breeders (Sea and Reef) the gold nuggets typically develop the gold color at 1 to 1.5 years of age although that isn't set in stone. I do not remember what size your fish was at the time you made the purchase but assuming it was a small then it would have been around 6 months old.

Expect territorial issue and squabbling amongst them. One will be the dominant female wanting her space, all the food and moody

Ok. You have explained married life pretty well...what about the clownfish?

You are correct, it has been about 6 months with a lot of growth, especially the female. The colors on them are fantastic, I love them.
